Abstract
VEGA-ESPINOSA, David A.; CAMPO-RIVERA, Natalia; BEDOYA-TOVAR, David and GIL-RONCANCIO, Efraín. Ventricular tachycardia associated to a mutation in the ankyrin B gen. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.29, suppl.4, pp.42-46. Epub Dec 20, 2022. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m22000193.
We report a case of a 14-year-old with tachycardiomyopathy due to ventricular tachycardia. A variant of uncertain significance of the ANK2 gene was identified, which is suggestive of a possible ankyrin-B syndrome. The patient underwent a successful radiofrequency ablation. After the procedure, the patient completely recovered her left ventricular function and there was resolution of the premature ventricular complexes and ventricular tachycardia.
